This has got to be the best ever money put in a Kickstarter ever.
Hopefully European countries can be coerced to follow suit, somehow. This project sets positive precedent in copyright history and it's a great thing.

I wonder how this would impact abandonware, as far as I understand, this doesn't cover any kind of distribution of said work, so unless you are a registered entity working for preservation, like a museum, you are not allowed in any way to distribute or display software on which you have circumvented its copy protection.
